Poems

You'll Say, Night

You'll say, night
And night will be
 
You'll say, day,
And the day will be bathed
 
You'll say, colour
And all butterflies of the earth
will come flying
 
You'll think, love
And the horizon will uncover
a hidden rainbow
 
You'll be, burning
And her skin
will be ablaze
in another city
 
You'll say, night
And memory will be shed
You'll say, day
And earth will become empty
 
You'll remain, silent
And rocks will explode
onto the moon
 
You'll pretend, not to see
And she'll be stuck
invisible
in air's throat
 
You'll say, night
And a sand-house will start
rising by itself
 
You'll say, day
And this body, gnawed by old age,
will be bared
